Greatest Rock Song of All Time

The Beatles suck.

Led Zeppelin is the greatest band of all time.

Stairway to Heaven is the greatest song of all time.

Disagree that the Beatles suck.

Agree that Zep is the greatest ever.

Disagree that Stairway is the best song.

(It's not even the best song on that album)

Let's all show some respect for "When the Levee Breaks"

Well...let's be honest, Zep probably holds #2-#10 for greatest songs of all time too.

Just because rock got more aggressive and ultimately turned to crap after about 1986, with some nice exceptions, doesn't mean they didn't rock. Listen to Helter Skelter. And that was the "wimpy" McCartney.

Agreed. You have to take into account the time and place. Ever see linemen from old black and white reels? Most were the size of your average HB by today's standards. You can't argue that whey weren't linemen based on what linemen look like today.

Lucas Davenport and I have more than one thing in common.

BTW, the Beatles don't suck, they just aren't a rock band, and what they play isn't really Rock music. Even among the British invasion bands, they are the least "Rock-like".

What they play is "pop", and shouldn't be confused with music that originates from the nether regions.

The Beatles are the greatest alternative band ever. They do not rock.

Spinal Tap rocks!

Excellent choices. Don't forget Jesus done left Chicago by ZZ.

Do you have Sirius/XM radio? They have stations devoted to different artists. All Zepplin, all AC/DC, all Elvis, etc.

Where is the All Beatles station? I don't hate them. They have a place in history.

That's how you tell a good band? If they have their own Sirius station?

The Ocean also beats Stairway.

as well as "How Many More Times" "Your Time is Gonna Come" and "Hey Hey, what can I do?

Having grown up in the era, Beatles and Beach Boys music were considered to be "not rock" by most of my peers.

Rock had it's resurgence in the 1970s, more or less.

Frankly, you had to be there, or have studied the era to really "get it".
